Moving 4’ system to 6’

Recommended Posts

I have a 4’ tank and will be moving the complete setup to a 6’ tank. The existing tank has been running for 3 years and has an eheim canister full of marine pure and a fluval c4hob. Livestock is an Oscar and a pleco. If I move the existing substrate, rocks, filters and a quarter of the water to the new tank will the fish be ok to put in there with new water?

I also have a fluval fx4 on the way.

Thank you

Brad

Sure will. As long as the new water has been dechlorinated. I always keep a bottle of quick start (good bacteria) around and add for the first few days. The old media should be enough though. Just gone through this myself with a move from a 6' to a 8' tank.
